This event is sponsored by: Kitsap Central Labor Council, Olympic Central Labor Council, WFSE 1181, UFCW 3000, OPEIU 8 and the WA State Labor Council, AFL-CIO

How do we talk to members and coworkers who think differently than us (politics, racial and gender justice, membership, etc…)? Would you like to be a better leader in your workplace and a voice for change? These are such big issues – what can we actually do about it?

This participatory workshop is designed to give you practical tools for building union solidarity within your workplace. This 2 hour session will help you to engage in effective conversations to build unity and solidarity among those you work with. Learn more at wslc.org/race-and-labor.

Courageous Conversations on Race and the Labor Movement will be held Thursday May 19, 2022 from 5:45pm to 7:45pm, Interpretation and closed captioning are available upon request.

This will be a Hybrid Workshop with opportunities to participate in person or virtually. Food will be provided at the in person gatherings in Port Angeles and Silverdale. To participate virtually you will need a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access. The in-person gatherings may change to virtual if the COVID conditions change. We will make sure everyone is updated if they do.

2022-04-24 14:00 - 15:00 | Online meeting
This event is hosted by the WA Free Trade Coalition.
What is the World Trade Organization (WTO)? How do the WTO and “free trade” policies take power from the people and give it to corporations? From gig economy to offshoring and labor export policies, from cutting environmental protections to maintaining pharmaceutical monopolies and withholding healthcare––the working class pays the price for “free trade.”
Join the International League of Peoples’ Struggle, Migrante Portland, Trade Justice PNW, and the Washington Fair Trade Coalition to learn more about the WTO and “free trade,” how it affects all of us, and how we can fight back.

Black Lives and the Making of White Power and Wealth
2022-04-18 18:00 - 19:00 | ONLINE ONLY
This event is hosted by the Northwest African American Museum and Town Hall.
A Conversation with Clyde W. Ford. Tickets are $6. Register at: https://my.townhallseattle.org/get-tickets/ecaf2ea1-aba5-11ec-b02c-459de4b6e019
When we look at American history, it’s impossible to look at our country’s institutions of power and wealth without also looking at the foundational labor of enslaved Black men and women. The slave trade was essential to U.S. commodities like tobacco and cotton, and it shaped institutions from transportation and law enforcement to medicine and financial services.
In his newest book, Of Blood and Sweat, author Clyde W. Ford looks at the lives of individual Black men and women and their roles in creating and sustaining the wealth of the white one percent throughout American history. Today, as activists take the fight for racial equity and justice to the streets, Ford traces the roots of this struggle from pre-colonial Africa through post-Civil War America.
Ford joins us at Town Hall to discuss how the past holds broad implications for present-day calls for racial equity, racial justice, and the abolishment of systemic racism and offers invaluable insight into our understanding of Black history and the story of America.

#RaceAndFemicide
2022-04-14 12:00 - 13:30 | ONLINE MEETING VIA ZOOM
This event is hosted by Race Forward: The Center for Racial Justice Innovation
Women of color live at the crossroads of racial and gendered oppression, with dire consequences. We see this in the alarming rise of violence against trans Black women, with each year becoming deadlier than the one prior and 96% of trans folk murdered being trans feminine people. We also see this in the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, of which 68% target Asian women. For many women, the violence is also felt close to home: the CDC estimates that 53% of all female victims of homicide were killed by an intimate partner, and Black women were the most likely to die at the hands of a partner. Native American women follow with the second highest incidence rate.
Join us for a conversation among organizers and leaders addressing gendered and racialized violence in our communities: from the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous and Black women, to targeted attacks against Asian women, to ongoing violence against trans and gender non-conforming people, to the trafficking of immigrant women.
#RaceAnd Femicide will ground us on the roots of femicide, as well as its present day manifestations. Participants will also explore steps we can take as a collective society to find transformative solutions that do not perpetuate violence and further criminalize people, but rather get to the root causes of femicide. Join us on April 14th at 3 PM/ET to learn how the issue is impacting our different communities and how we can combat it.
